FRANKLIN, Tenn. – The Gateway Chamber Orchestra presents The Family Series: The Amazing Dulcimer with Stephen Seifert 11 a.m. March 17 at the Franklin Theatre.

In 2017, the Gateway Chamber Orchestra performed Conni Ellisor's Blackberry Winter featuring the world’s leading dulcimer soloist, Stephen Seifert. This year the Gateway Chamber Orchestra is tackling the regional premiere of the sequel, Broad Band of Light.

Based on Stephen's extensive fan base as a seasoned performer, Broad Band of Light is one of the only fan-based commissions of an orchestral piece in existence. People from all over donated to have a new piece written for Stephen, and the Tucson Symphony premiered it.
